Then lift the inner end of the divider-'board A',

Referring to the drawings, Figure l is an which moves`on its .horizontal pivot a, until 55 I0 elevation of the grain-wheel end of a harthe postF is clear of the socket a in the castvester, showing the divider in position.

In a harvester, the combination of a finger-bar, a casting thereon, a supporting-bar hinged to said casting, a divider on the supporting-bar, a post on said divider, a socket in the casting in which the post rests, a bracket on the linger-bar and a lock on said bracket to engage the supporting-bar.

5. In a harvester, the combination of a tinger-bar, a supporting-bar pivotally connected to the finger-bar, a divider connected to thesupporting-bar by horizontal and vert-ical pivots, a post on the divider, a support for the post, a bracket on the finger-bar, and a lock on said bracket to engage with the supportingbar.

6. In a harvester, the combination of a divider comprising a supporting-bar pivoted to fold horizontally inward along the linger-bar, and a divider-board pivotall y connected to the outer end ot' the bar so as to swing` over the platform in a position transverse to the lingerbar when the supporting-bar is folded inward.
